Not that I"m aware of on this forum.....but i'm sure it's been done...

I think a 4L80 is a bit much, especially for a small block.....

assuming you still have an IRS, and street tires of some sort....I fail to see the need for a 4L80.....you clutch/converter is your tires....

got a solid axel and tubbed in 16" sticky Mickeys.....well , that's another horse....

Yes, Monte Williams put one in his '82 Corvette. Go to his web page http://www.montygwilliams.com/ On the left side there are drop down menus. Select: 82' Corvette/Transmission/4L80E
